I finally heard back about my MRI's. Yes that's plural for a reason. The first one was of my brain and I was being checked for MS. Thank the good Lord that was negative! No MS but there is a cyst on my pineal gland. From what they say, this is fairly common. People have it and don't have any clue. It isn't dangerous. All indications show that it's benign. These are very good things. I'll just have to have it checked again in 3 or so years to be sure nothing is changing about it.
The second one was of my lower back. I'm not really okay with not having answers about physical problems especially after having test after test after test. So I requested that we look at my back since I've had trouble with it for 10 years now. (By the way...I'm too young to say I've been seeing a doctor about something for 10 years...) There wasn't anything terribly wrong with my back other than the scoliosis and some arthritis. I'm not thrilled about there being arthritis in my lower back and my neck but it is what it is. I'm thinking the next route will be further arthritis testing. That could be what's killing my legs. There's no telling where else it is since it's in my back. I would much rather do something preventative than end up not being able to get around because of severe arthritic joints.
A new year is coming so I'm going to lay low and enjoy this next week with the Christmas holiday, time off from school, and a much needed vacation with my family. Time to relax and enjoy each other and even enjoy some sand and waves :)
